Here’s whether Arqit Quantum Inc. Ordinary Shares (ARQQ) is worth buying in 2026 — based on weekly-updated price trend, RSI momentum, and return vs. the S&P 500. Our current read: Caution.
Positives: above the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum positive); RSI 65 — healthy momentum range; 3-month momentum positive (+6.7%). Concerns: trading below the 200-day MA (long-term downtrend); 50-day MA is falling (-1.98% over 10 days); weak 1-year return of -29.4%; rising volume on a downtrend (distribution, 1.35x avg). Currently 71.8% off its 52-week high. Score: -1/7.
ARQQ is trading below its 200-day MA ($25.70) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. An RSI of 65.0 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of -29.4% compares to +27.9% for SPY (trailed the market by 57.2%). The current 71.8% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
